Today, I started out with some peanut butter toast. I procured protein powder during my shopping excursion yesterday, so for a post-workout meal, I made a purple smoothie!
It's so...puuuuuuuuurple! Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurple! Purple power!
I don't really have a recipe I use for smoothies, but I follow a basic formula. I start with a banana, which adds sweetness without needing to add sugar. Then, I use frozen berries. In this case, I used blueberries (which are actually puuuuuuuuurple!). I like using frozen berries, since they give a nice texture. Then, I just add milk, and in today's case, protein powder. Lots of smoothie recipes call for yogurt or other ingredients to give it a thicker texture, but if you use frozen berries, you'll get the thicker texture anyway.
Speaking of protein powder, this stuff is expensive! Look at this.
That little container cost me fifteen freakin' dollars! That was the price of it on sale. Seriously? Do I look like I'm rich?
Oh well. I need alternative protein sources. So I'll choke back the sticker shock, open it up, and...
Aw, come on! Half this container is air? Seriously?!? I feel like I'm being ripped off here.
Hubby made some tasty veggie wraps for lunch. They don't look like much in the pic, but they were good.
If it looks reminiscent of lasagna, that's because it is. It's not, though. It has less cheese, and more peas. It still uses lasagna noodles, marinara sauce, and mozzarella, however, and is still high-calorie. I don't care, though, because it was tasty and filling and I didn't have to cook lunch so I'll take whatever Hubby feeds me. (I'm sorry...that last part sounded a bit wrong, didn't it? No? Well, now it does! Sorry again.)
It's another work night, so back to the same old veggie sandwich, apple, and carrots for dinner. Yes, I am boring.
